Brake Calipers

Jobra · April 3rd, 2009, 02:48 PM

I was aiming for red originally.

I want to do something with them, the stock look right now looks like crap as it is not a solid color and... just looks like crap.

I don't know. Maybe black? Light silver car.

go with the cobra or baer brakes they are the same pbr callipers and both look nice ,,, i upgraded all all the way around for uner a grand ,,cobra callipers ,,ss break lines ,, baer 13" slotted and drilled rotors,,,this was a pretty good improvement over the stockers

Yea,

But what about this caliper paint?

Brake upgrades Fall 2009.

mrsinister2424 · April 3rd, 2009, 03:20 PM

Go with silver or red. That would probably look best. I went with Red..... well, because my whole car is red

Jobra · April 3rd, 2009, 03:26 PM

I probably will go with the red, I was just self conscious about the "rice" look.

Im not for all the visual bs but I will say I dont think that the caliper paint is rice. A few months back it was the big mm fad of the week similar to the hitechs, trickflow heads etc. I cant count the number of threads posted over the period of a week or two w/ people that had painted their calipers.

I think somewhere along the lines you also asked which paint to do it with or something like that? I skimmed across it real quick. Anways if you did check into the duplicolor kits. Theyre about 20-30 bucks I think and you can get them just about anywhere.

Yea, I checked out all the duplicolor kits....

I think ill go red, just didnt know if it was rice.

Maximum Motorsports and Stang Suspension both have partial kits. I have seem them other places too. Can't remember where else though.

mrsinister2424 · April 3rd, 2009, 05:58 PM

I am too sometimes subconsciously afraid of the rice factor. But I'd say you'll be fine

Just as long as you don't paint cobras on your stock brakes.

01BlackGT · April 3rd, 2009, 08:30 PM

Dude it's not ricer!!!! put a neon under there to show em off now thats ricer!!!

mrsinister2424 · April 3rd, 2009, 08:33 PM

Whaaa, neons are SO not ricer-y..... I've got like lots of lights in my wheels, and under my... car.. and things
